Red Imported Fire Ants

• Colonies were accidentally introduced into the United States in the 1930s. Cargo ships from Brazil docking at Mobile, Alabama unloaded goods infested with the Red Imported Fire Ants. They have since spread to the coastal plain and piedmont of almost all of the southeastern states, as well as into California.
